Backlight control is not working.

Well, that's strange. It works fine in 10.12 but not in 10.13 with the same config.plist and same set of kexts. According to both IOReg, the AppleBacklightInjector.kext is loaded. AppleBacklight.kext & AppleBacklightExpert.kext seems to be loaded as well in 10.13 :

MacBook-Optimus:~ polyzargone$ kextstat |grep Backlight

But indeed, there's no slider in Syspref in 10.13.

You should verify the 9mb cursor bytes patch is being applied by Clover. Set config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/Debug=true to verify.

I've checked. It is applied in both 10.12 and 10.13.

BTW, I'm surprised Lilu and IntelGraphicsFixup are loading without -lilubeta and -intelgfxbeta kernel flags...

That's because those flags are in a custom entry :

You need to follow all the instructions in that guide.

I've noticed on my install on my HP Envy j-070 that after installing High Sierra, I need to use kext utility to restore brightness slider and no lag after booting. I am using Clover kexts injection so maybe that's why, but try Kext Utility as maybe the way that AppleBrightnessInjector is designed, you have to rebuild kexts to make it work on 10.13.

No need for Kext Utility.
You can install kext:

sudo cp -R KextToInstall.kext /Library/Extensions

And rebuild cache:

sudo kextcache -i /
